Pretending

Cherry red lips,
Gold paint on my finger tips.
Tell me it’s worth it these
Precious tears.
Sunday morning,
Wrapped up warm and the day is dawning
But can we make it ‘till
The sun goes down?
And as the nights get colder,
My eyes get older,
And these twisted words
Start to make more sense.
It’s like a rainbows ending,
And we are still pretending
That there’s gold at the end of the line.
So open up your fairy stories
And let the words fall out.
Familiar faces and far off places,
Too real for you to doubt.
But in the end we’re only pretending
That life is never ending,
And we’re perfectly fine.
And if I shout loud enough from the rooftops,
Then you can come and join us
In our perfect life.
Pretty photographs,
Chopped and changed so they're not the same.
Tell me it’s worth it
This hollow pain.
Monday morning,
Ready for work and the day is dawning.
But can I make it
Back home again?
And if I’m not myself today,
Just ignore me,
I’ll be okay.
It’s like a rainstorms ending -
Flowers will grow from my pretending.
So open up your fairy stories
And let the words fall out.
Familiar faces and far off places,
Too real for you to doubt.
But in the end we’re only pretending
That life is never ending,
And we’re perfectly fine.
And if I shout loud enough from the rooftops,
Then you can come and join us
In our perfect life.
Oh, we’re only pretending, hey, yeah,yeah.
So I’m gonna hold my breath,
‘Till the music ends.
But it’s all pretend.
But in the end we’re only pretending
That life is never ending,
And we’re perfectly fine.
And if I shout loud enough from the rooftops,
Then you can come and join us
In our perfect life.
And in the end we’re only pretending
That life is never ending,
And we’re perfectly fine.
And if I shout loud enough from the rooftops,
Then you can come and join us
In our perfect life.
And if my heart keeps insisting on beating,
Then I will be believing in another time.
And if the world keeps insisting on turning,
Then I will keep on yearning for another life.
